(fr. pronominal base 3. i) , in this manner , thus (in its original signification íti refers to something that has been said or thought , or lays stress on what precedes ; in the brāhmaṇas it is often equivalent to " as you know " , reminding the hearer or reader of certain customs , conditions , &c supposed to be known to him). In quotations of every kind íti means that the preceding words are the very words which some person has or might have spoken , and placed thus at the end of a speech it serves the purpose of inverted commas (íty uktvā , having so said ; íti kṛtvā , having so considered , having so decided) . It may often have reference merely to what is passing in the mind e.g.bālo 'pi nā*vamantavyo manuṣya íti bhūmipaḥ , a king , though a child , is not to be despised , saying to one's self , " he is a mortal " , ( Gr. ?? 928.) In dram.íti tathā karoti means " after these words he acts thus. " Sometimes íti is used to include under one head a number of separate objects aggregated together (e.g.ijyā*dhyayanadānāni tapaḥ satyaṃ kṣamā damaḥalobha íti mārgo 'yam , " sacrificing , studying , liberality , penance , truth , patience , self-restraint , absence of desire " , this course of conduct , &c ) íti is sometimes followed by evam,iva , or a demonstrative pronoun pleonastically (e.g.tām brūyād bhavatī*ty evam , her he may call " lady " , thus) . íti may form an adverbial compound with the name of an author (e.g.íti-pāṇini , thus according to pāṇini). It may also express the act of calling attention (lo! behold!) It may have some other significations e.g. something additional (as in ítyādi , et caetera) , order , arrangement specific or distinctive , and identity. It is used by native commentators after quoting a rule to express " according to such a rule " (e.g.anudāttaṅita íty ātmanepadam bhavati , according to the rule of pāṇinii , 3 , 12 , the ātmane-pada takes place) . kim íti=kim , wherefore , why? (In the śatapatha-brāhmaṇati occurs for íti ; cf. Prakrit ti and tti.)
